Balluff sensor detects magnetic field interference, stops false triggering

September 28, 2020 By Mike Santora

weld-immune-magnetic-field-sensor

Balluff’s latest magnetic field sensor was designed specifically to withstand the magnetic fields of weld applications. The BMF 415 weld-immune magnetic field sensor can detect interference of magnetic fields caused by high weld currents and stop the sensor from false triggering by using a higher level of circuitry and filtration. It’s IP67 rating and protective […]

New sensor from Balluff delivers flexible, smart condition monitoring

June 5, 2020 By Paul Heney

Balluff’s new condition monitoring sensor can measure vibration, temperature, relative humidity, and ambient pressure. The feature-rich sensor collects and processes these readings and outputs digital statistical data to a host system via IO-Link. In addition, the sensor can detect and communicate its condition, continuously reporting its temperature, number of operating hours, and start cycles. By […]

Balluff’s inductive Factor 1 sensors

July 30, 2019 By Mike Santora

USN0179-Factor1-M12-product

Balluff’s new generation of high-precision inductive factor 1 sensors accurately detect ferrous (iron-based) metals like steel and non-ferrous metals like aluminum and brass at the same rated switching distance. Typical inductive sensors have a reduced range for non-ferrous metal, requiring a correcting factor to calculate their switching distance. Not so with Factor 1 sensors; they […]
